(b) Play a taxi in the thriller directed by Mk. In Night Shyamalan, a family on vacation is taken hostage by armed aliens who instruct them to make impossible choices to avoid the end of the world. The film is true to its source material—Paul Tremblay's 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World— to the end, in that it wouldn't be a Shyamalan film without his input at the end. A terrible disappointment in the book, not Judgment Day. But the film's twist on the story, apart from the impeccable cinematography and excellent acting, hampers the power of its adaptation.

PG (for action/violence, humor/rough language and some scary moments). 102 minutes
